    Open World Builds

    GW2. Open World Builds for Guild Wars 2 PvE Exploration, Story, Events, Meta, Fun.


    While you can run anything you want in the open world and generally succeed, these builds will provide a fun but effective playstyle to complete any of the open-world content available in Guild Wars 2 such as:

    • Map Completion
    • Story and Dynamic Events
    • Hero Points and Champions
    • Meta-Events
    • Dungeons
    • Challenging Bounties and Legendary bosses

    While some of these builds are great for team play, they are mostly oriented for solo play so you can enjoy the open world even when your friends log off.
